Yep 3+ overload. My shackle mount are thru the frame on the front. I had 5.5" shackles on it but dropped that to 4"s  Sunday, Gotta get it back on it's wheels to see.  I had six leafs in the front but took one out. I used the front drop, TG SAS kit, My truck has a 2wd frame under it converted to 4wd. I drilled it and sleeved it to be like a stock 4wd frame..

I wonder if because I moved the rear mount points as far back as I could, 115" WB.  Is that why it sits lower?  Don't know anyone else with this done to theirs locally to compare. BTW the springs are like new with no sag. I will know in a couple days if it's gonna work out with the changes in a couple days, just as soon as I get my spring pads in from Marlin.

Found some cracks in the frame right where it turns up to the front shock mounts, Gonna have to make some plates for that today maybe, It's zero out right now I may wait for tomorrow, Suppose to be in the 30s tomorrow.

I looked at it a while ago and I can't see why moving it back would do anything different. I just need to get it back on it's wheels and go from there.
